Did you ever rewire your cooler rack after the work we did on your bunkhouse and bike? If you did not already, get the wire kit from M61A1Mech here. It will be a lot better for the bikes wiring harness than all of those scotch locks.

Sure is quiet in that nekid chat........

What you have is NOT pop ups. You have a piece of malware installed on your computer. When you ran their program up to the point of giving your CC number, you installed the malware even deeper and made it harder to get rid of. Malwarebytes gets rid of most but not all bad things. Sometimes you have to run it more than once. Gotta stay off those porn sites........

If the hole is actually stripped, your best bet would be a Heli-Coil or similar insert. If you coat the drill and tap with grease it will keep the chips under control. I do not know if you will have room to do this, depending on which hole it is and what all is in the way.

OH NO!!!!!!! Totally Nekid Chat????? Well maybe some of us are.......... I think ol Puc is askeerd that his twinkle fingers will get him in trouble. (Like that stops any of us.....)

Whew, new scientific proof. Ever walk into a room with some purpose in mind, only to completely forget what that purpose was? Turns out, doors themselves are to blame for these strange memory lapses. Psychologists at the University of Notre Dame have discovered that passing through a doorway triggers what's known as an Event Boundary in the mind, separating one set of thoughts and memories from the next. Your brain files away the thoughts you had in the previous room and prepares a blank slate for the new locale. Thank goodness for studies like this. It's not our age, it's that damn door ! :backinmyday:

Top bar on any VRO page, third tab from the right. When the chat window comes up, log in using your screen name and password, make sure the guest box is not checked. If you log in as a guest you do not get all of the functionality of the chat room. I will not be in chat till later in the evening tonight.

I'll bet there are a lot of people that don't even know how to check the picture size let alone resize it.

That is correct Heat did not help me at all. The only problem I had was using hot melt glue to put the red lens back on once completed. First time it got below freezing the lens disappeared on the highway and I had to buy a new one. I ended up putting the new one on with clear RTV / Sealant. I have not got around to doing the lower reflector yet. But I plan to make that one just running lights. The resistor you will want is a 220 to 330 Ohm 1/2W or bigger, from Radio Shack, get both, they are cheap to see which gives you the best contrast with your lights. The resistor goes in the positive wire to the LED, there is no polarity on resistors.

The controller and dimmer are only needed if you want to get real fancy like I did with having combined running lights, brake lights, and turn signals all built into the trunk reflector. If all you are after is just running lights, or just brake lights, then you do not need any of that extra controller stuff. If you just want running and brake light from the same LEDs, then you just need a very simple 2 diodes and 1 resistor. What you are suggesting with the 3 rows of LEDS would work well, but I would still add a resistor to the row used for running lights so that there is a difference in brightness between brake and running. Some people have mentioned that their reflector was held on with hot melt glue that could be softened with a heat gun. Mine was not assembled that way, It may vary by year.

I have no idea if my gage is accurate or not. But it is repeatable and that is important. I played with pressure to get the handling the way I liked it and just always use the same gage to set the pressure. On my gage I am running 45 psi in the rear on an E3. On the gage that is built into my HF air chuck it is reading 40 psi. Which if either is correct, I have no clue, nor do I have a way to check them. If the pressure drops by 2 psi I can feel the rear end getting a squirmy feeling in the turns.

There are also some people that have had to change to a ceramic connector for the headlight bulb because the higher wattage bulb will run hotter and some have melted the plastic connectors.

Yup has to be aliens. Time to send a letter to Ripley's believe it or not. Now you can prove that you are not over serving guests. Or this http://www.bottlecutting.com/products/kinkajou-bottle-cutter

:sign yeah that: :rotf: I didn't see no berries.

I had exactly the same problem on my 88. I tried to epoxy the broken piece back on using JB Weld. Broke right back off. I tried to make a new piece, drill and tap for a #0-80 screw and mount it with screw. The walls were to thin and the screw broke out the side. The only thing that worked was to replace it with a used one. I lucked out and someone had one off of a crashed bike. Good luck with your search for one.

Great ride. I am very glad that you shared it with us. I am not able to take such a trip and I really do enjoy living it thru you and others that share them. So who is the next one to take and share an great ride????

Not really, they are going by registrations not bike sales. Harley makes a lot more bikes every year than the total bikes listed for WI. The factory does not register any of the bikes they ship to a dealer. If the numbers included all of the bikes Harley made, WI would have more than the 800K listed for CA. But having the Harley HQ located here does raise the numbers of registered bikes due to a generous employee discount that is also available for family members. Many of these employee discount bikes are replaced every year with a new one because the discount is good enough that you can ride it for a year and still sell at a profit. Pocket the profit and get a new bike. On a summer day around here the bikes sometimes seem to outnumber the cars.

Hmmmm...... When I replaced my half disc, the friction point moved way out toward the end of travel, not anywhere near the grip. I have been thinking of going back to the half disc.

Its not a true Eck unless your cell phone was in your wallet......

:sign yeah that: The first sign of a clutch problem is slipping when rolling hard on the throttle in 5th gear at highway speeds. What you are describing is a problem with the clutch actuation.

I guess almost but not quite. I am leaving Milwaukee for the UP on Thursday evening right after work and should arrive in the UP around midnight. Coming home Monday afternoon.

It depends on what you are trying to do. If it is just for normal maintainance, then follow the instructions on the can. If you are trying to clean a cruddy carb. You can use anywhere from a 1/4 can to as much as a full can in a tank. Some people have been known to run straight Seafoam into the carbs for a really bad case of the crud.

Not sure whose it is, but it sure did blow the doors off of the 2nd gen.....

Ummmmm..... Forget something? What info??:stickpoke: If the bike has 27K miles the bearings are likely fine. If it really has 127K like you suspect then it may be a good idea to replace the bearings while you are in there, for peace of mind if nothing else.

Brake fluid is some nasty stuff. It is really difficult to repair the damage that it does. The damage just keeps spreading even after you think you have cleaned it all up.
